Identification of traits to improve co-assimilation of glucose and xylose by adaptive evolution of Spathaspora passalidarum and Scheffersomyces stipitis yeasts.

Abstract excerpt

Lignocellulosic biomass is a renewable raw material for producing several high-value-added chemicals and fuels. In general, xylose and glucose are the major sugars in biomass hydrolysates, and their efficient utilization by microorganisms is critical for an economical production process. Yeasts capable of co-consuming mixed sugars might lead to higher yields and productivities in industrial fermentation...
